Former Love Island winner Jack Fincham has pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence of controlled substance benzoylecgonine and not guilty to driving under the influence of diazepam.
A trial has been set for December 9 at 10am at Maidstone Magistrates’ Court, and it was said in court that it will last one or two days.
Fincham, who appeared at Sevenoaks Magistrates’ Court supported by his stepdad Fraser McManus, was stopped by police driving his £30,000 Mercedes near his home in Swanley, Kent, in January.
The 29-year-old was charged with driving under the influence of a controlled substance after he was allegedly found to have 239 micrograms of benzoylecgonine — a by-product of cocaine — in his blood.

He was also charged with driving under the influence of diazepam, after he was allegedly found to have 632 micrograms of diazepam in his system — the chemical name for sedative valium.
On his way into court alongside his step dad, Jack wore a printed black t-shirt with lightning bolts on the front, which he paired with a pair of khaki trousers and black trainers.

The reality TV star could be seen smiling for the cameras as he walked into court with his hands in his pockets.
It comes after Jack shared an Instagram snap of him enjoying a meal out with some friends on Sunday night – his last social media post before his court appearance on Monday.

Captioning the snap, he said: “Can always count on you two”.
Jack had previously worked as a pen salesman before his winning stint on Love Island in 2018 and he later starred on Celebs Go Dating in 2019.
He has also appeared in shows such as ITV’s Don’t Rock The Boat as well as Celebrity Juice and a celebrity special of The Crystal Maze.
